He was also dismissed after a year in charge of his next club, Spanish side Real Sociedad, before taking over at the Stadium of Light when Sam Allardyce left to become England manager.

“He’ll find it very, very difficult to get a Premier League job but lots of Championship sides will offer him a job – he doesn’t need the money but he’s got the drive and the desire,” former Leeds right-back Danny Mills told 5 live.

Mills added that relegated Middlesbrough could be a good fit for Moyes, should they not appoint caretaker boss Steve Agnew on a permanent deal, as they “have money to spend”.

Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin said Scotland could “do a lot worse” than appoint Moyes if current manager Gordon Strachan decided to step down.

“[Moyes] has had three bad seasons in a row for a variety of reasons but he’ll probably go to the Championship and relaunch his career from there,” added Nevin.
